500 Million Song Buys

I was in college around the same time that Mark Zuckerberg was. A song commonly traded on filesharing networks by...ahem, people our age, was the cover of Radiohead's "Creep" used in the fantastic new trailer for The Social Network. The song is haunting and creepy in its usage here. Breathes new life into a track long left by the side of the road by many. More often traded for its humor value was their cover of The Divinyls' "I Touch Myself".

The group that performs the song is a Belgian girls' choir called Scala (conducted and accompanied by The Kolacny Brothers, hence "Scala and Kolacny Brothers"). None of their albums are available for legal purchase in the United States. It's a shame that no one out there is interested in making a big pile of viral-driven money by getting them on Amazon or iTunes or something.
